Section 1. General
1.1

GTX 330/33 ES

The Garmin GTX family consists of the GTX 330 and GTX 33 (Non-Diversity Mode S Transponders)
and the GTX 330D and GTX 33D (Diversity Mode S Transponders). The ES option of any of the
transponders provides ADS-B extended Squitter functionality.
All Garmin GTX transponders are a radio transmitter/receiver that operates on radar frequencies,
receiving ground radar or TCAS interrogations at 1030 MHz and transmitting a coded response of pulses
to ground-based radar on a frequency of 1090 MHz. Each unit is equipped with IDENT capability and
will reply to ATCRBS Mode A, Mode C and Mode S All-Call interrogation. Interfaces to the GTX
330/33 are shown in the following block diagrams.

Section 2. Limitations
2.1

Minimum Equipment

The GTX 330/33 with ADS-B Out must have the following system interfaces fully functional in order to
be compliant with the requirements for 14 CFR 91.227 ADS-B Out operations:
Table 1. Required Equipment
Number
Installed

Number
Required

GPS SBAS Position Source

1 or more

GTN series navigator (for aircraft equipped

with GTX 33/33D only)

1 or more

Interfaced Equipment
Uncorrected Pressure Altitude Source

2.2

ADS-B Out

The GTX 330/33 only complies with 14 CFR 91.227 for ADS-B Out when all required functions are
operational. When the system is not operational, ADS-B Out transmit failure messages will be present on
the GTN control interface, or GTX 330 display.
2.3

Applicable System Software

This AFMS/AFM is applicable to the software versions shown in Table 2.

The Main GTX software version is displayed on the splash screen during start up, for the GTX 330, and
the external LRU page on the GTN for the GTX 33.

Pressure Altitude Broadcast Inhibit (PABI)

Pressure Altitude Broadcast Inhibit shall only be enabled when requested by Air Traffic Control while
operating within airspace requiring an ADS-B Out compliant transmitter, per 14 CFR 91.227. PABI is
enabled by selecting the GTX to ON mode.

Section 3. Emergency Procedures

3.1

Emergency Procedures

None
3.2

Abnormal Procedures

3.2.1

Abnormal Indications

The loss of an interfaced input to the GTX 330/33 may cause the transponder to stop transmitting ADS-B
Out data. Depending on the nature of the fault or failure, the GTX may no longer be transmitting all of the
required data in the ADS-B Out messages.
For GTX 330 installations:
If the GTX 330 detects any internal faults or failures with the ADS-B Out functionality, the GTX 330 will
annunciate this event via the NO ADSB annunciator on the GTX 330 display screen. When the GTX 330
annunciates the NO ADSB annunciation, one of the following failures or faults have occurred:

Loss of adequate GPS position data

ADS-B TX (transmit) is selected OFF

When the GTX 330 annunciates FAIL to the flight crew, the GTX 330 has detected an internal failure and
no transponder data is transmitted.
When a GTX 330 NO ADSB, or FAIL annunciation is received, verify proper operation of all interfaced
equipment (refer to Section 1.3) as the failure of one of these devices could be the cause of the abnormal
indication.
For GTX 33 installations:
Reference Display Device documentation for applicable annunciations.
3.2.2

Loss of Aircraft Electrical Power Generation

Loss of electrical power generation ....................................... REMOVE POWER FROM GTX

If the GTX should be load shed due to a loss of electrical power generation, ADS-B Out data will no
longer be available.
NOTE
This guidance is supplementary to any guidance provided in the POH or AFM for the
installed aircraft for loss of power generation.

Loss of GPS/SBAS Navigation Data

When the GPS/SBAS receiver is inoperative or GPS position information is not available or invalid, the
GTX will no longer be transmitting ADS-B Out data.
For GTX 330 installations:
NO ADSB annunciator illuminated:
Interfaced GPS position sources...........................................VERIFY VALID POSITION
For GTX 33 installations:

Section 4. Normal Procedures

The procedures described below are specific only to the GTX 330. Cockpit Reference Guides and Pilot
Guides for interfaced displays will provide additional operating information specific to the displays or
other traffic systems.
ADS-B Out functionality resides within the GTX transponders thereby providing a single point of entry
for Mode 3/A code, Flight ID, IDENT functionality and activating or deactivating emergency status for
both transponder and ADS-B Out functions. Details on performing these procedures are located in the
GTX 330/330D Pilots Guide.
4.1

Unit Power On
NO ADSB ............................................................................................................ CONSIDERED
NOTE
The NO ADS-B Annunciation (or associated display annunciations) may illuminate as
the unit powers on and begins to receive input from external systems, to include the
SBAS position source.

4.2

Before Takeoff
NO ADSB ........................................................................................................ EXTINGUISHED
NOTE
The NO ADS-B Annunciation (or associated display annunciations) must be
EXTINGUISHED for the system to meet the requirements specified in 14 CFR 91.227.
This system must be operational (NO ADSB annunciator EXTINGUISHED) in certain
airspaces after January 1, 2020 as specified by 14 CFR 91.225.
